UCLA MECN Fall 2011

Published

Hello,

I saw that the MECN application for UCLA has been posted today. Is anyone applying to the Fall 2011 program?? I haven't found a thread going on yet...Maybe we can share our questions/concerns regarding the application process here.

just saw my rejection as well :(. Good luck to those waiting!!

hate my life still nothing =[

congrats to all those who got in and those who will get in! im sure u will make up a wonderful class

and to those who have already been told to look elsewhere, keep your head up. there is always another school and another way to reach your goals. Come back to ucla for ur PHD and show them! Keep up the hard work and never be discouraged. One door closing just means another one is going to open up!

I am out of town today so please post when any of you (who haven't heard anything yet) get your mail....I will be obsessively checking this thread :) I was hanging out with some of the MECN girls last night (the ones that are in their second year) and they said the faculty had over 700 applications this year so to anyone that already received bad news, keep your head up because it sounds like it was a ridiculously competitive year. I am probably a bit older than most of you (30) and I already have a public health masters in Epidemiology from UCLA but even that came about the hard way as the first time I applied to UCLA for my MPH, I was denied. I wanted it so badly that I spent that year taking the MPH classes as extension courses, getting to know the faculty and having them write my rec letters and got in the second time I applied. I know it is such a let down but don't give up. If this is what you want, you will get it, it may just not be the time frame you had hoped for. To those of us still waiting, I am crossing my fingers for everyone. Good luck. Do we know if anyone has gotten in yet??

On this board, it seems like there are just as many of us that have not heard as there are ones who have been denied already. Could we (who are still waiting) really all be accepted/wait-listed? Seems like there are too many of us for that. Don't want to get my hopes up but I'm just trying to make sense of it all. :heartbeat

I don't think just because we haven't received an email yet that it means we all got in. BUT I think that doesn't mean we should stress over it either. As someone else already pointed out, in this case, no news is good news. :) An unlikely person told me I should see it as good news as long as I'm not receiving any bad news.

So for those still waiting like me, keep hoping for the best! :up:

I agree. A friend of mine who is a college counselor told me to not read into this at all because sometimes schools send these things out without rhyme or reason...of course I'm reading into it but I'm bracing for the worse. It sounds like many of you here were super qualified. I will also keep hoping for the best!
